Oka. Let’s get something straight ……… Barack Obama is a shell of a man. He has done what he was told and for it he gets a pension for life and a big ol’ library to throw parties. He also will probably get a nice house in Chicago and speaking gigs with expensive speaking fees. That is the bribery-in-reverse feature of American political fame. The payoff for doing what he was told comes AFTER …

Now Hillary is running about and she is promising to “. . . continue the “progressive” legacy set by Obama”!

OH PLEASE! Obama is as “progressive” as a pile of frozen diarrhea! It’s not going anyplace!

Hillary and Obama are the mask of slavery. The House Nigger and the Corporate Whore all dressed up in Americana!

They both are lies as well as lairs and to watch their sheeple bleat their prase is just disgusting!

Hillary thinks the TPP is PROGRESSIVE ? For whom?

Time out: Progressive: “using or interested in new or modern ideas” (Merriam-Webster)

Just what is new about economic slavery?

Hillary thinks DRONE WARS are progressive? Hillary is a neo-con and neo-con’s think backward so that may explain that but it is NOT progressive it’s called MURDER! “We came, we saw, he’s dead!” to explain American oppression tells it all!

And then Wall Street bailouts? Progressive? If so, then that would put George W. in the progressive camp. She has got to be kidding.

Or how about $12 an hour minimum wage? ……… progressive? Tubularsock would sure like to hear Hillary answer the question, “Could you live on $12 an hour, Hillary?” But she doesn’t have to because sucking Wall Street is profitable!

And who can forget “women issues”. Is Bill’s sexual predator raping fest a “progressive” view? THAT IS JUST SAD.

No Hillary is just the face of corrupt capitalism and like Obama, looks are deceiving.

All in all what is about to happen in the United States is that due to continued American Stupidity, Step-an-Fetch-It Black Wall Street Slave Boy will be replaced with a White Wall-Street-Whore with her Pimp. And then business as usual.

Well Hariod, the first thing that comes to Tubularsock’s mind is Utopia. Tubularsock will leave the details to you.
But do remember that we all live in a hologram and what we project is what we get. If you take this assignment you’ll have forty-three hours to complete it. This message will self-destruct in four seconds. Good luck.

Hariod, Tubularsock has always found that whenever you get a “group” of people together very soon a “natural” hierarchy takes form. And from that the new “bosses” are formed. Now this is from limited personal observation over the years but seems to hold true more often than not.

And it also seems that if one or two of these “new leaders” have an aggressive knowledge that provides answers people tend to gravitate toward that “leader”.

Even if a “new leader” attempts to dissipate this agreement the tendency persists.

Therefore it is not the system selected to follow (aka anarcho-syndicalism or what have you) that is the issue but the followers. And in the term “followers” implies the problem.

So it is not the form that needs to be reformed but rather the consciousness of the people. And with ALL the focus being taught from the cradle to the grave in the opposite
direction …….. good luck with that!

Of course, with Tubularsock as President in 2016 at least this country would have one of those enlightened dictators leaders.

Yes, I understand the problem of leadership, tubular one. Implicit within Anarcho-Syndicalism is the concept that no state can ever act in the interest of the working people, thereby presupposing that centralisation will inevitably fall prey to an inherent power struggle for leadership, and consequent subversion of the very interests of the movement itself. So, to the extent that it’s possible, hierarchies are disempowered within AS. That said, human nature is what it is, and inevitably the charismatic and psychopathic will either by default or through their own bidding come to be regarded as figureheads. There is no utopia for the human condition. The transformation of consciousness you mention is inherent in Marxist doctrine, of course. Me? I became a Buddhist for that.

Tubularsock is a fan of philosophical Buddhism as Buddha provided with example. As well as Jesus’ teachings before the “Church”. And of course Lao Tzu before Taoism shifted to its “religious” trappings.

New term for today – ‘pro-aggressive’ and that might define Killary and Obomber the wonder boy.
Spot on Tubularsock and well stated.
Hmmm, we could also consider ‘neo-conniving’ as being applicable in this instance.

Oh you are so correct. George W. just looked dumb but wasn’t. He too was scripted but didn’t really understand it. Obama understands it and can’t seem to pull it off because people expect him to be smart. Funny how that works. Hillary can play the scripted world very well. She is like a chameleon and changes with the wind!

Yeppers, there have been times when I thought he was quite a good actor with all that garbage he spews appearing to be a t-bone steak; but then I realized if I could tell it was garbage then he really wasn’t any better an actor than that drooling old fool from the 80s! 🙂

An outspoken reporter once stated, a million years ago or so (when reporters were still capable of speaking the truth): “We [the American people] don’t always get what we want, but we almost always get what we deserve!”

And this entire farce you have been describing so well, Tube, is as much the fault of the brain-dead, flag-wavin’ jackasses in this country, as it is the political stooges and their elite-swine owners and operators! Up until now, no one has been holding a gun to anyone’s head, in order to get them to take part in this every four year farce!

So Barack, Hillary, Bernie, Ted, Donnie, and all the other low life assholes/criminals, are what these flag-wavin’. USA shoutin’ jackasses deserve.

But unfortunately, for the rest of us, we will get the same fucking up the arse as these simpletons!

Lesser and more-er feeling left out? So much the better, because I am beyond sick of having to vote for the lesser of the 2 evils … this year there doesn’t seem to be one of those — they’re just a-l-l-l-l-l-l fucking EVIL! The longer we go in this reprehensible season the more I realize there is NO CHOICE but to vote for TUBULARSOCK!!!! Yes, I feel much calmer now …

It seems I may have opened a tiny can of worms by using the term “gay”. No offense meant to anyone who is gay, I can assure you. I guess I didn’t know “gay” was a derogatory term. I can’t seem to keep up either.

For those angry or concerned, just know I am for individual freedom in all things, especially when it comes to this touchy issue.

Tubularsock doesn’t believe that anyone who is gay and knows it gives a shit about derogatory terms any more. Or at least those that Tubularsock knows. But this is the SF Bay Area which has been the vanguard of queers and fags forever!

But Ohio, well it’s a queer place when Tubularsock comes to think about it.

Believe it or not, Tube, Central to Northern Ohio is not as backwoods as it would seem. Columbus has a large gay population, and beyond isolated incidents, there really never has been any war going on here, between Gays and Straights.

As you know, I went to college in the arts (music), and so, much like you and SF, gays are as normal to me as straights.

Oh sojourner, Tubularsock will take your word for Ohio and sure there are a couple of other people in the area that are nice, MAYBE Linda?

It is interesting, at least to Tubularsock, that labels are all over the place but when we ask Big Agra to put a simple GMO label on their products it just can’t be done. Priorities Tubularsock guesses. Come to think about it, if gays started to call themselves GMOs any derogatory issues would disappear.

Tubularsock still hasn’t figured out the meaning “straight”. What in the fuck does THAT mean?

sojourner, Tubularsock has always received an email for other peoples comments even if Tubularsock hadn’t made one. There is a little box that allows that and stops that in your manage control panel. If that is what you are talking about.

“Tubularsock has always received an email for other peoples comments even if Tubularsock hadn’t made one. There is a little box that allows that and stops that in your manage control panel. If that is what you are talking about.”

No, this is different. It’s as if I’m receiving your response to someone else’s comment, and yet the message says, “Tubularsock replied to your (my) comment.”

It’s no big deal. Just as long as the other person commenting knows it is being addressed to them and not me.
